Mr. Frenkel was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. In 1991, he took clerkships with firms in St. Louis, Missouri and Dallas, Texas. He was extended an offer from the Dallas firm of Arter & Hadden and relocated to Dallas permanently from 1992 to present. After leaving Arter & Hadden, he was employed by the Dallas office of a large New York insurance defense firm. In 1994, he envisioned a new law firm, and he and his brother formed Frenkel & Frenkel. Initially, they represented one insurance company from Austin and a trucking company from Joplin, Missouri. Within six months, they had decided to dedicate their careers to plaintiffs. Since that period of time, Frenkel & Frenkel has helped thousands of clients recover hundreds of millions of dollars in gross settlements and verdicts.
